This doesn't sound particularly like heartattack. And yes, sore muscles and all the other symptoms you describe can be caused by anxiety, especially if the anxiety is extreme and lasts for an entire day or longer.
I think it's worth going to a doctor, for two reasons. One is just to make sure your heart is OK. Another is, if you get anxiety attacks like this often, it may be worth to start treating them.
In the future, though, if you suspect having a heart attack, don't wait for 5 days.

This pain is usually of the <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span>/numbness kind. People have told me that the <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span> from a heartattack is very severe. I would say that this pain is not at that level. In the last week or so, I have noticed a little shortness of breath, fatigue and I feel flush in the face. I started taking Pamelor for depression about 1 ½ weeks ago. I have noticed that my heart rate has increased from 65 bpm to about 80 since I have been on it. I am wondering if any of my symptoms may be due to the medication.

Mom (fifty six years old) has heart disease and had a heart attack years ago (I was there and remember),
2. other grandmother on mom side in her <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>early</span> sixties has heart disease and had a heartattack, (my cousin was there), she takes something she said sounded like nitroglicen
3. Grandma (my mom moms) says she recalls heart disease being in the family in her family before us (not her kids) this means somewhere between my great aunts and uncles and great grandparents.

During the physical they discussed the retinal hemorrhage and the
doctor decided to run an ECG which was abnormal (I'm not exactly sure what abnormality was noted) and
the doctor said it could be from a possible mild heartattack at one time. He sent my husband to a nearby
hospital to have an echocardiogram performed just to check everything. The echo was normal and no
further tests were performed to double check the original abnormality.

3) Does angina mean you are likely to have a heartattack? Not necessarily. A heartattack is caused by lack of blood flow to the heart wall muscle. It takes 20+ years of eating junk food to build up enough plague in the arteries to block them and cause a heart attack.

If you have stomach <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span> you can have symptoms that feel heartattack related. I had a severe allergic reaction to Cymbalta that put me in the ER 3 times in a short time span and I haven't fully recovered since then. I also believe that my carotid is inflamed. I'm going to get a hidascan next week to check my stomach and gallbladder and if they see any correlation I will let you know.

I think some of my symptoms were caused by the antiobiotic which triggered a severe anxiety attack. Anyway, I am still in <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span> today with <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span> in my back near the right shoulder blade. Still the pain/pressure under my ribs. I'm wondering if I have a pinched nerve in my upper back which is causing all of this, since this area gives me more pain every day. I also notice much of the pain disappears after I sleep, or lay down and relax. Anyway, I'm going to see my GP in two days.

Do you see a pattern when you get the <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span>? Do you have family history of heart disease? From my personal experience I had nuclear stress tests which didn’t show abnormalities and I experienced pain. I was told it was all related to anxiety but I actually had some pretty advanced blockages.
Please don’t get nervous from this response, as I also had every “risk factor” in the book.

I believe with all my heart that the Accutane is the cause of my problems. I have debilitating <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span> every day. I have been checked for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Both were negative. I saw a Rheumatologist, and he remembers this being a problem in the past.

If you've been checked by the doctor and your heart is structurally sound (no damage from a heartattack or damaged valves), then you can relax. It's just a little electrical blip in there. The heart sends a small electrical signal from the upper part of the heart to the lower part. Sometimes that signal is off by a millisecond. Doesn't sound like much but yes, you might feel the difference. But it isn't dangerous. No more dangerous than a hiccup or a twitching eyelid.

It often causes referred pain to the upper abdomen when diseased.
Heartattack
Angina pectoris – <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span> behind the breastbone in heart or coronary arteries disease
Pericarditis, mycocarditis or endocarditis
Heart diseases are often considered as medical emergencies as the condition can be life-threatening. It should always be suspected when accompanied by symptoms such as pain to the left jaw or arm with dizziness and/or fainting.

The pain meds were probably not for your heart and if I had to guess it was for some type of musculoskeletal <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span> that your physician thought you had.
Set up an appointment with your physician or even his/her nurse to help go over things. Also, work on identifying what caused your panic attack and triggers and coping mechanisms for dealing with it should it recur.

If you’re in a sensitive state, this can ring alarm bells because you fear a sudden heartattack. The more you panic, the faster the heart beats. It’s therefore understandable why many people in this situation jump to conclusions and call for medical help. What you have to remember is that palpitations are perfectly natural and can often be caused by exhaustion or stimulants like caffeine.

I have just found out I have herpes simplex 1 virus/ I have the most painful sore inside my mouth near the underside of my tongue and nerve <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>pain</span> from my ear down to my lower <span style = 'background-color: #dae8f4'>jaw</span>. Have you ever had a toothache, well this feels like every tooth has a toothache. Acyclovir and have a topical pain killer to swab inside my mouth. Nothing is helping yet. Had it for a few weeks thinking it would go away before seeing doctor, but pain is so bad. Does anyone know how long this takes to heal.

We were thinking maybe perforation. They did an EKG and he was having a heartattack. He was given clot buster and sent to a larger hospital where the heart cath showed clean arteries. No one can tell us if the two are related. We feel that they are related because he has never had any problems with the heart or signs and symptoms of heart problems. We do not think of an EGD as a benign procedure anymore.
